Novotel London Greenwich

I stayed in this hotel with my husband and my parents for a weekend break. The main purpose of our break was to see Wicked in the Apollo Victoria Theatre. Overall I was very happy with the hotel.

Liked: The location, the surrounding area, the hotel staff, breakfast, free internet access and printing facilities, the size of the room

The hotel is located directly next door to the train station and there are trains to London Bridge (10 mins journey time) and Cannon Street (15 mins journey time) approx every 20 mins. From there you can join the Tube or the tourist buses for sightseeing.

Disliked:

The rooms were a little cold but clean and a standard size. I'm not sure the hotel merits 4 star status - we stayed two nights and our towels were not changed. Also there was no shower cap or body lotion and the shower cubicle was small enough.

However for the amount we paid for the rooms these are only small complaints and I felt we got value for money.

I would certainly stay in this hotel again. We flew in through Heathrow which took 2 hours transfer time on Friday evening so next time I would look at a closer airport.

Stayed in room 349 from 11 - 14 November 2008.

Reservation was made through the Novotel website. I followed up by email to advise the hotel that I had changed my flight and would arrive late. Upon arriving the check in went smoothly and I was soon in my room.

The room had a large bed with a reasonably hard mattress, ( I hate soft ones ), large size TV, ( though only half a dozen English and 2 French channels ), bathroom, ( seperate shower and bathtub ), seperate WC, minibar, coffee-tea making facilities, safe, hairdryer and nice, new fluffy towels.

The room overlooks the main road and thus had a nice view but may be too noisy for others.

The hotel is located right next to the DLR / railline station though I did not notice any noise. The area of the hotel is pleasant, and there are quite a few shops, restaurants and bars nearby and yet the feeling is of a small provincial town in the countryside. I went one night to a nice Spanish restaurant close by after going for a walk along small, quiet lanes that led up a hill with nice views.

The hotel has a restaurant and bar and I had breakfast there only once. It was good but not brilliant. The bar and restaurant offer a nice menu for meals in the evening and I stayed in once to eat and watch the Spurs v LIverpool match. Service at the restaurant and bar is very good. Staff are friendly and attentive. The tall, slim French head waiter is excellent and his staff all follow from him. There is a dark-skinned small waiter who is very nice and the girl behind the bar, Ilena, is also very good and a real hard-worker.

Check out went smoothly and the Polish gentleman on duty is very professional in his work.

Excellent., well run hotel in a good location.

walking along small lanes

Fantastic hotel in a fantastic location.

We stayed here in order to go to a concert at the 02 Arena,

Hotel was clean, comfortable and modern. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Even the 24hr room service is pretty decent. Although the menu mentions very limited meals when you call up room service the'res actually quite a few things on offer.

We loved it and would stay there again.
